IIII. Dye not beefore thy day
Dye not beefore thy dayDye not beefore thy day, poore poore man condemned, But lift thy low lookes, from the humble earth, Kisse not dispaire & see sweet hope contemned: The hag hath no delight, but mone but mone for mirth, O fye poore fondling, fie fie be willing, to preserue thy self from killing: Hope thy keeper glad to free thee, Bids thee goe and will not see thee,
